    Description
    The oral history consists of eight digital files: 2011.174.96.1a, 2011.174.96.1b, 2011.174.96.1c, 2011.174.96.1d, 2011.174.96.1e, 2011.174.96.1f, 2011.174.96.1g, and 2011.174.96.1h.
    The interviewees in this group interview were students who staged a walkout in 1951 at the all black, segregated Adkin High School in Kinston, North Carolina. They were protesting the unequal conditions between the black and white high schools in Kinston. The interviewees describe their family backgrounds, life in segregated Kinston, and Adkin High School. They remember learning that their school was unequal to the all-white school from which they were barred, and planning and staging a school-wide walkout and march without the assistance of any adults. They also discuss their lives since high school.

    Woman’s wrist watch worn by Harriette Vyda Sims Moore. The watch has a gold-colored face with black hour and minute hands and black numerals, some of which are partially worn away. Under the numeral six is the word "Swiss." The watch is housed in an eight sided watch case, also of a gold colored metal. Both the face and the case have swirling floral designs engraved on them. The two lugs on either side that attach the strap to the case are made of a dark brassy colored metal. They attach to two silver colored rings that make up the ends of the watch band. The band itself is a silver colored metal and has no clasp as it is a stretch band. It is possibly not contemporary to the watch itself. The back of the watch case has a decorative floral band around the edge. The center is plain, with numerous scratches. The crystal (glass) is missing.

    Dimensions
    H x W x D: 11 × 17 1/2 × 10 in. (27.9 × 44.5 × 25.4 cm)
    Description
    This gray bag was used by Anna Mae Queen Holmes to store a travel hair care kit (2014.224.4.1-23). The rectangular bag is made from a gray canvas synthetic fabric. The top of the bag opens on three sides with a black metal zipper. There are pockets sewn on each side and on the front of the bag, all of which close with black metal zippers. A short handle of gray and blue striped woven tape is sewn horizontally at the center top, with two additional lengths sewn vertically across the top, each ending in a black plastic metal buckle. These buckles attach to two (2) straps sewn above the front pocket, each ending in the opposite side of the black plastic metal buckles sewn on the top. Loops of the gray and blue woven tape are sewn above each of the side pockets with a black plastic loop attached to them, likely for a longer carrying strap that is now missing. A metal plate with black text reading "Albinar" is attached to the lower right facing corner of the front pocket. Two (2) black rubber strips are attached to the bottom of the bag with the text "Albinar" impressed into the rubber. A black leather label is sewn to the center of the bottom of the bag with white text printed on it that reads "PRO-4500".
    The interior of the bag and all pocket interiors are lined in bright blue synthetic fabric. The interior of the lid is lined in a tan synthetic fabric with two (2) strips of gray Velcro (TM) attached just left of center. A length of black elastic sewn along the right side into a series of small loops. The bag is kept stiff by a thick layer of foam placed between the lining and facing of the body and lid of the bag. Thinner foam is placed between the lining and facing of the tops of the side pockets, and all of the front pocket. A hard material, likely plastic, is placed inside the bottom of the bag making it stiffer than the rest of the bag. A white tag with red printed text is sewn to the back right facing side seam of the interior that reads "MADE IN CHINA".
